Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and sometimes appears in household water supplies. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present; lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Pace homeowners choose treatments that protect every faucet rather than just one tap when they want whole-home peace of mind.
Radium’s presence depends largely on local geology as water moves through rock and soil, not on daily household activities. It can travel with other dissolved minerals — similar to hardness — so even clear water may carry it. If you’re in Pace and worried about long-term exposure, treating water at the point it enters your house ensures consistent reduction throughout plumbing for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
An ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing radium. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be captured during that process. Installed on the main water line into your Pace home, an ion exchange system treats all incoming water so every tap receives the same protection.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and regular maintenance are important for dependable radium removal. The media must be regenerated on a schedule matched to your water chemistry and household demand so it doesn’t exhaust prematurely; many homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect flow and the resin. Mr. Pure Water can work with Pace residents to choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily water use.
